Well fuck. I took off the adhesive bit on the last stitches, the ones removed last Friday (for the first time) to take a shower (also the first fucking full shower) and what do I find -- puss and blood -- not gobs of it but enough to be concerned. So I cleaned it up with some sanitized wipes, put on some band aids, put on two pairs of socks on the foot, will wear my podiatrist boot and use a cane to this Thanksgiving dinner. I actually tried to call my friend thinking I should just stay home but he's unreachable -- I love how 65 year olds don't keep their cell phones on unless they're going to use them. What's up with that?

I'll see if he can't take me to a pharmacy open on holidays for gauze and an Ace bandage, then hopefully my podiatrist office is open tomorrow. Won't hold my breath on that either.

Puss and blood, kinda like puss in boots? I hope you found pus and not a cat sewed into your foot! Wumpy what have you paid the doctors to do this time!?

Roasted red bell pepper soup here tonight with a pimiento cheese sandwich. Its been so warm around these parts we did the grill thing this evening. The soup is actually pretty good with a few sauteed shallots and a bit of sour cream in it.

I used to have the most lovely feet -- everyone said so during jaunts to Miami as I ran around in my Gucci sandals at the Tides... but alas, no more. I'll just be happy if I can walk with no pain.

That said, I walked about 15 blocks today: pastry shop (about to have an almond chocolate croissant with Honduran coffee), post office (tasty Italian muscle queen in line there), Cosmi's Deli for that delish sammich and then back home to do 2 loads of laundry. Nothing like getting those skidmarks out, I say!

Now come on Wumpy, you know better than to argue with a city girl like Miss P, you'll loose that argument everytime, I don't argue w/ Miss P anymore, my shrink told me to just let her have her way, and take my meds and all will be just fine

You know, my first boyfriend back in college had a shrink that said something like that... well, until he said to break up with me. But fuck that -- I was two-timin' on that kid with a hot, tall big dicked Italian guy anyway. Both of these guys were my first boyfriends and I couldn't remember their names if you paid me. I do know that the first time I had sex it was a three-way with these two guys, and in a freshman dorm room on the floor.

PS: uh, Wumpasaurus, what is in that putrid pasta dish you just made? I'm making pasta myself in an hour or so (you know, Yankee girls eat dinner at 9 PM... prime reservation hour in restaurants too... and we do NOT call it "supper") and I suppose in the interest of nutrition I will gladly post a picture.

All I can add is that if this forum expects me to marry Wumpy then I'm doing all of the cooking -- I can't eat bowls of pasta that look like something street vermin vomited on a paper plate. And I certainly wouldn't ever trust that queen with my clothing for laundry -- I mean I line dry black t-shirts (keeps the color intact!). I hate dusting and vacuuming so I guess he can do that, and he's in charge of chauffeur duties. Majorly.

As far as sex... well, he'll need to hire me young Dominican boys. On his dime.

Ya know I'm really not seeing it myself, your to city, and he's to country, not that anything is wrong with this combo.........a man would have to have a 15 inch cock to please you, so that really narrows it down a a lot

While somewhat lacking in color, the taste is exquisite and dances upon one's palette (and satisfies my urge for quick pasta)

OK Wumpy -- now you know Miss P and I don't exactly run in the same circles and all -- but she hit the nail on the head about this mess. I think I actually threw up a little when I saw this photo. That is some NASTY looking shit and I'm half Irish -- we certainly know nothing about good cooking.

So -- part of you pre-nup should read that Miss P does ALL cooking for the family. She can even pass on some of her fabulous recipes to your granddaughter. After all, she'll need to be able to say how wonderful grandma's cooking was.........

and to think people besmirched the pictures of "big" food I posted in the cookbook thread. If it didn't look appetizing, at least the pictures were unique and interesting. I'd be scared to taste the stuff I've seen in the pictures in this thread. LOL

I think it was more your scary tiny face peering over the massive bowl rather than the size of the pics itself

btw Philly, I detest Tuna (had a horrific Tuna Fish sandwhich incident as a child) but I wouldn't mind some of that Pocono Rainbow Trout in the pic. Yum.

Silly queen -- real tuna doesn't taste like that tuna used from a can! You also obviously never enter a sushi restaurant, so we can't ever date. A $21/lb. tuna isn't like albacore tuna used in canned products, there are many species of tuna. What I bought is probably bluefin tuna. But "ps" I love canned tuna too Seriously nothing so pleasurable as a proper tuna melt and some fries, plus a Raspberry Coke (yes, made with Raspberry syrup)

and ps: that was a simple plate of corn tortilla chips with monterrey jack cheese melted on top in the oven... like a cheap version of nachos. I usually cut up jalapenos and sprinkle on it but was out of them.

I'll be honest. I can't stand much made with canned tuna. It's really good for you as a source of protein, especially when weight training. It's got oils that are good for the skin, and if you can overlook the occasional flakes of Godzilla I'm sure it's tasty.

I've forced many a can down in my bodyboy days (which were followed by bodyboi days. Which are now supplanted by "I dont want fat pants" days). But I never, ever developed a taste for the stuff. But I still have plenty in the pantry and fridge, which, along with smoothies, are my "treats" after a workout.

I like smoothies, don't get me wrong. But without rum I'm never sure how to garnish.

But have ALWAYS loved me some sushi. A local place offers a sashimi plate for lunch at about ten dollars. A healthy wad of cash for us poors, but once every two months or so. I indulge. Raw tuna, squid, snapper, and beautiful red roe on a pile of sticky rice - with a side of Miso soup and enough wasabi and ginger to knock me out and make my breath smell good while unconscious, and I'm in heaven.

Never been sick from the stuff, thank God/dess. Not even when I had half a dozen CD4 cells.

But that having been said, I LOVE southern cooking. Specifically Cajun and Creole, which I am becoming rather adept at recreating in my shabby one bedroom hovel.

But seriously, raw seafood is the best. Oysters to sushi, the stuff is magic. It's been worth my time on earth to experience those things. Well, and the cool as hell Indian guy with whom I used to spark up and mutually pleasure. But that's a raw food for another plate.

Oh YES, I love raw Oysters on the half-shell it's a magical and wonderful experience

You know what's really good? Buy tuna steak and then have it ground and you can grill tuna burgers. Or if you own a KitchenAid mixer (like any proper queen should) buy the meat grinder attachment and do it fresh yourself

I'm not worried about the safety of sushi -- I simply detest the texture. There is also probably a bit of it that is all in my mind too -- the thought of eating raw fish (or any raw meat) just doesn't appeal.

Perhaps someday that will change -- I used to hate brussel sprouts once and now love them.

Miss P. -- I've been scoffed at by too many people over the years to care about the kitchen help.

Every queer in the world likes raw meat, and sushi I sure do , tastes do change as we age, so I'll agree with you there, Bob HATES any kinda fish, I cannot get him to eat it @ all, the smell of it makes him SICK

Mike, I used to not like sushi because of the raw fish thingie, but then I just gave into it and began to love it. Come to Philly and I'll take you here: http://rawlounge.net/gallery.html There are always cute boys there

There is an all you can eat Chinese place near my house that has really good sushi . I will gladly take the ridicule for admitting I eat sushi at an all you can eat place but its really good food there . The sea weed salad is my newest thing to love .

Most of my friends who come to visit are not on a budget like I am and balked at eating there the first time , now I cant get them to go anywhere else . My friend Micheal who is Chinese was the hardest one to convince to try the place but now he is the one that loves the sushi there the most .

I get that "real" Tuna is different than canned tuna (my ex was always trying to shove Grilled Tuna down my pie hole), but just looking at Tuna I get flashbacks of my babysitter forcing me to eat tuna sandwich then throwing it up and being forced to eat that. Just reading the rest of this thread is making me woosy LOL. I need serious psychotherapy.

However I LOVE Sushi and will eat just about any other fish. Also, Raw Oysters are lovely.

But that having been said, I LOVE southern cooking. Specifically Cajun and Creole, which I am becoming rather adept at recreating in my shabby one bedroom hovel.

I would love to be able to cook real authentic Cajun and Creole. A few years back my neighbor in Austin Who was from deep Louisiana would occasionally cook up a batch of Gumbo, oh it was sinful. Okra, tomatoes, shrimp, crawfish, sausage, and some ingredients she refused to ID.

PS- I had a late night snack of Pancakes with homemade Blueberry Compote and whip Cream around 11 last night I'm so bad.

I will only eat sushi at an upscale restaurant due to quality control of raw fish. It's really just common sense. Same with raw oysters -- I will not buy them at a dumpy place. I may be on a Social Security budget but I also don't want to get sick -- the key is having your wealthy older brother come to town on business and expense it all

However, a nice cheese steak can be had at a shack.

I have always thought that an affordable restaurant has as much interest in serving food that wont make you sick as any upscale place . The health dept. score is on the wall for all to see in every restaurant .
